Unholy Swill

Unholy Swill has been played on NTS shows including $hit & $hine , with Wanna Be God first played on 12 October 2017.

Yonkers, NY, USA 1988 - 1993

Taken from the band's myspace page:

"The band started as a complete joke back in 1988, I wanted to put out a record of a band that didn't really exist. The European indie label scene got hold of it and loved it. It also got rave reviews in Forced Exposure, Your Flesh, Maximum Rock and Roll, Flipside and Spin. So I made more. And again, people liked it. It was time for a change. I put a band together with Joey I and Rich from Raw Deal/Killing Time and at our 1st rehearsal, we wrote, practiced and recorded an entire album in about 4 hours. It is "Oniontown is the Place To Be" and the warning label on the cover says "Warning This Record Will Kill You". And it did. I have yet to meet anyone who has listened to both sides straight through. It is the loudest rock record ever made. It melts needles. But it was fun. We never really toured, but we were invited to play at the Independent Music Festival in Dallas back in 1992. We agreed. We were all under 25 so we couldn't rent a car or a truck, so we had to take a Greyhound bus to the show. 37 hours on a bus was hell. The show was great, execpt that it was held in an Amphitheater that held 8,000 people and only 300 people showed up. I have a great pic here of us performing to an empty theater. Absolutely nerve wracking. The show was put out on LP by Nawpost records a year later as "Live In Dallas" and featured a hand painted cover by Gary Gilmore. Actually only one side was live in Dallas, the other was live at Brownies in NYC from around that time. After awhile the band called it quits, but not before selling about 15,000 records and putting things out in the US, UK, Belgium and Australia. That was a pretty good joke."
